On the seventh day of the first month of March, a strong wind suddenly blew, and for a time there was dust and sand in the capital. When Li You got out of the yard, he felt that he was splashed with dirt, and hurriedly got into the carriage, closing the doors and windows to prevent wind and sand.

He couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart, everyone said that the ancient environment was good before the crossing, why is there a weather similar to a sandstorm in this year? It was the first time he had spent spring and summer in Beijing, so he really didn't feel this way before.

However, unlike the time and space in the previous life, these dusts did not come from other places, and it was no wonder that the Mongolian Plateau was born and grew in the capital area. In the final analysis, there are too many people in Jingshi, too many dirt roads, and too many places around that have been cut and logged.

Rao is like this, Li You still silently recited a few words in the car, "Heaven is beautiful". The first issue of Mingli Bao was printed today and published tomorrow, and the front-page headline was a blockbuster article accusing the Ministry of Industry of being responsible for the current environmental degradation.

He chatted with the coachman outside through the thick curtain. The coachman was an old man in the capital, and he was very familiar with the situation in the capital, and when he heard the master's family talk to him about the roads in the capital, he couldn't help but pour bitter water:

"The winter is cold and the wind and sand in spring are actually good, and the saddest day is summer. Once there is heavy rain when the ground is full of mud, some roads can even sink half of the car wheel into it, the small ones can only get out of the car and step on the mud to push forward, the pain is unspeakable, those who do the sedan chair at this time to carry the sedan chair is even harder. As for the old man, it's not much better, and he splashes mud without paying attention between entering and leaving..."

The news of the publication of the two newspapers on the same day had long been circulating in the yamen of the Beijing Division, and many people were curiously waiting for it on 8 March.

Sure enough, one after another, two newspapermen sent their respective newspapers to the door, and today's "Pravda" and "Mingli" are both free of charge. The officials in each yamen only need to be white-collar.

The number of copies of the two types of newspapers received by the yamen was also similar. Officials above the fifth grade and the head of the department. It is a gift per capita, and the rest is given according to the department, such as each department, department, etc. One copy is given by a department.

Therefore, as long as it is an official of the fifth grade or above, they basically get two newspapers at the same time and enjoy the privilege of having a sneak peek. Of course. Although Li You's "Mingli Bao" was given priority, it was not only sent to various yamen, but most of it was actually sent to the people, which was much wider than "Pravda".

When a senior official gets two newspapers, the first thing they see is, of course, the style rather than the content. Both newspapers used large sheets of paper, one page the size of four books, but Guozijian's Pravda published four pages, while Li You's Mingli Bao published eight pages.

After weighing the weight of the two newspapers, readers expressed their first impressions: "Mingli Bao must have more financial resources than Pravda." ”

But between the two newspapers, people in the yamen naturally tend to read Pravda. After all, this is a state-run newspaper. But looking at the homepage, it is full of small characters in the pavilion body, which looks very comfortable. The main body is an article "Cherish Spring and Persuade Agriculture". And the front is in order. There are poems next to it.

If you look closely, it can be said that it is far-reaching and beautifully written. There is also a small discussion below, suggesting that more people should be put into the onlookers at this year's Son of Heaven's pro-ploughing ceremony. Looking at the next few pages, there are those who praise the Son of Heaven for his diligence and early dynasty, excerpts from recent decrees, and some analysis of scriptures and meanings.

The officials read Pravda, but for a moment they could not say anything good or bad, and they picked up the "Mingli Bao", which seemed to be-for-tat in terms of its name.

Looking at it, the front page of "Mingli Daily" is more visually impactful than "Pravda", and the headline of a large font in a column is extremely eye-catching-the imperial capital for three hundred years, and the dust and mud are still there?

Take a closer look at the text, "Since Emperor Taizongwen built the Beijing Division, it has been more than 300 years, and the imperial capital was created in the past. Now on the side of the chariot, the sand and dust are flying on the sunny day, the rain is muddy and difficult to walk, the dust is full of dust when the wind rises, and the water is filthy and not saddle the knee, and there is a company that ignores it for three hundred years? ”

Although it uses "Yousi", anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is directly pointing to the accountability of the Ministry of Industry, one of the six ministries, and even uses the spicy and playful words of "three hundred years of rule by inaction", which is quite exciting.

If it's just accusations, it's nothing, and it's not worth shocking, because the Ming court receives countless impeachment chapters every year, and there are too many times to scold and accuse each other. But that's all another matter, and this "Mingli Bao" is said to be publicly sent to all parts of the city, I don't know how many people read it, I don't know how many people listen to it, and if it is not good, it will be known all over the city.

Many people have a vague sense that the criticism in the newspapers seems to have a different meaning and utility than the ordinary impeachment recital.

But what's the point? Everyone couldn't say anything for a while, and there had never been such a precedent before. How can the power of ordinary large-character posters or hand-copied newspapers be compared with such newspapers? It felt like the grass cole had met a regular officer with sharp firearms.

In addition to being shocked, the people who read the newspaper couldn't help but reread the article on the front page several times, carefully figured out the meaning, and completely forgot to evaluate the writing, and then continued to read other content.

However, I saw that there was a thin sidebar on the side of the homepage, on which were arranged a personal name and official position, all of which were the recent election of officials, and there were also excerpts from the current vacant official positions. It's also a very useful content.,Most people see this.,It's a study of the official subject with great interest.,At least it's a conversation point when traveling.。

As a result, most officials spend more time reading the front page of Ming Li Bao than they do reading the entire Pravda. The second page is full of government decrees and accompanying commentaries, and the style is very scathing.

When I got to the third page, there was a sudden change, and there was also a big headline - a fragrant murder case appeared in Nancheng, and the naked corpse of the maid was displayed in the house!

At this moment, countless newspaper readers secretly scolded "vulgar", but they still couldn't help but look down.

The preface of the opening article is a serious and serious preaching - "The eye is the emotional medium, the heart is the desire to plant, when you start your hands, you will be worried, and then you will lose your soul and lose your soul, and you will only want to be happy for a while, but you will ignore the kindness of others for a hundred years." This newspaper advises you to keep in mind that all evils are the head..."

Reading this, countless newspaper readers secretly scolded "long-winded, too long-winded". Who wants to see preaching? Skip straight to the text.

As for the back pages, there are various interesting stories in Beijing, the market of the East and West Jiaofang Hutongs, the information of shops and goods, and the customs and customs of other places.

Unconsciously, after reading the first issue of Mingli Bao, all the officials only felt that their eyes were opened, but they could not comment on it, and they felt that this kind of newspaper was beyond the scope of their own understanding.

In the end, I can only sigh, can you do this with a newspaper, it's very good-looking. However, the Ministry of Industry is an exception, and certainly does not think this issue of the newspaper is good.
